We were welcomed by so many very friendly people; our main contact ms Ban , the two permanent staff members ms Jin and ms Zhong, 3 interns, 4 volunteers and 4 persons from local media. Other people (donators, a member from the standing committee, volunteers etc) were coming and going during the day, so the office was totally packed - must admit that the working office back in Denmark seemed suddenly more quite and calm after this experience, although it is usually very crowded and loud too.
After introductions of everybody ms Ban presented the reason why we are there again to everybody, lots of pictures were taken.
It is very clear that Ms Ban is passionate about the organization (which she by the way is working full time in as a volunteer) in the way she is describing and telling everything to us. Kris (our interpreter) is working very hard to give us as much details as possible when translating for us.
Over the coming period of time we are interviewing different stakeholders from their internal and external environment as well as staff, students and volunteers to learn more about their challenges. Today we interviewed 4 interns who all have worked for a period of 1-5 months in the organization, they gave us a lot of useful information.
There is a lot of research for us to do over the coming period, and I feel somewhat insecure still about scope, timeline etc. Will we ever make it, I wonder? It seems that the two other sub teams already nailed a lot more than us.. or maybe I am just imaging things.
